I have been using Ages! for over 12 years. I found it on a CD with various FH programs to try out and I found it was the best. It did what I wanted it to do, was intuitive and easy to use. The others I tried were tricky and one, I made a mistake and could not delete the incorrect data. Ages! I found straightforward so I bought the full version. Upgraded to Version 2 later. Impressed.

Finally! A relatively simple program with an “All Relatives” chart. All the charts are nice and well laid out, and the program gives 3 choices for chart output: to printer, to PDF, and to disk.

I started out with PAF, so I still use it for data entry and management, but it doesn’t print tree charts. Ages! works directly with GEDCOM files (no need to import), so it’s easy to use with my family data. I haven’t used Ages! for any data entry or editing, just data output.

My main interest in genealogy is in seeing who my relatives are, rather than just ancestors, so the “All Relatives” chart is a very important feature to me in a genealogy program. It’s also nice to have for sharing the info with other family members at family gatherings. People like to see themselves on charts, so they can see how they’re related to other people. And since many of the people at gatherings are cousins, I need an “All Relatives” chart or, maybe better yet, an “Everyone” chart like GenBox and Family Historian have.

When making an “All Relatives” chart to take along to a funeral, I learned that selecting a person to edit made that person the default selection for chart creation. If no one is selected in the Person Edit window, then each time I would try to revise my chart, I would have to re-find my base person for the chart. And with 1900 names in the file, it takes a while to scroll to the correct name.

I like and recommend this program. You wouldn’t really need any other one, either. I’m just set in my ways and stick with PAF for most work. I also use Brother’s Keeper, Ahnenblatt, GedReporter, GenoPro Beta (last free version), and OnePageGenealogy.

Biggest Pro: ChartsBiggest Con: navigation to a specific person could be a little easier, but it’s still not bad.

Biggest Pro: very good user interface, great GEDCOM-Support, calc fieldsBiggest Con: few people behind the software, few updates

I really love Ages! I’ve been using it for years now, and I’m still very happy with my choice. The programm has had a number for free updates since, which added new stuff to it.
It took me a bit to wrap my head around its layout system, but now I see the advantages in their flexibility. The only time I had to use an additional program was when I wanted to put my data on a website. But even that was easy, because Ages! stores your data as a GEDCOM file already - so no export was necessary. I decided to use phpmygedcom ( somebody helped me set it up - see other reviews on this site), and simply upload my GEDCOM every now and then. As it turns out, that is more difficult to set up, but way easier to update.

Biggest Pro: flexibility and ease of useBiggest Con: does not create a website

On opening of a GEDCOM file it said there are errors… that’s all. What kind of errors?.. Where?.. nobody knows…
It couldn’t even find multimedia files in the same directory where the GEDCOM file was opened from… (The files had no path to a subdirectory - just names, so the program must find them!)

Biggest Pro: do not see anyBiggest Con: I unistall it too early to find out…

I ike this programm because it saves directly to GEDCOM-Format. Also the sources are well implemented. And all this goes well with publishing online with PhpGedView. So I work primarily with Ages to enter all my genealogical data. For the output I use also other Software, because here I can’t do anything with Ages

Biggest Pro: Perfect to build GEDCOM-Databases with full sources support and PGV-compatibilityBiggest Con: Grafic, Tables and Lists lacks some features
